USB audio interface.

Perfect interplay: the USB audio interface allows you to enjoy your favourite songs on the move and in top quality through the hi-fi system of your BMW 1 Series Coupé. You navigate conveniently between the tracks using the familiar controls such as the buttons on the steering wheel, iDrive, Voice Control or the radio buttons. Depending on the equipment, the titles are either shown in the radio display or together with the album cover in the Control Display of the iDrive.

Virtually all current MP3 players, Apple iPods™ and USB sticks can be seamlessly integrated into the audio system of the BMW 1 Series Coupé. Common compression formats are supported, as are playlists in M3U format.

The USB connection in the central console can also be used to control mobile phones and Apple iPhones™ directly. If a suitable snap-in adapter is available for your mobile phone, you can connect and charge it in the central console using the extended connection of the music player in the mobile phone option. At the same time, the phone is connected to the vehicle’s external aerial and the quality of reception is audibly improved. Connecting an Apple iPod™ or iPhone™ is simple and straightforward using the original Apple USB cable.
